Indiana schools would give citizenship tests in eighth grade and high school

Each school would give the U.S. naturalization test in grade 8 and high school. The schedule applies to each school. Grade 8 testing would begin in the 2026–27 school year; high school testing would begin in 2030–31.

A student would need a score of at least 70% on the test to graduate. This would apply to students expected to graduate in 2031 or later from public schools, including charter schools, or state-accredited nonpublic schools. A score of at least 70% on the grade 8 test would also satisfy the graduation requirement. A student who fails the high school test may retake it. A student with an individualized education program who earns a certificate of completion may receive an academic waiver. The requirement would begin with students expected to graduate in 2031.
